BRITISH BLOCKADE
ENFORCEMENT AGAINST FRANCE. OCCUPIED & UNOCCUPIED. (Received This Day, 9.20 a.m.) LONDON, November 18. It is authoritatively stated that Britain has decided that it is impossible for blockade purposes to distinguish between. occupied and unoccupied France and that therefore metropolitan France, in addition to Tunisia, Algeria and French Morocco will be treated as enemy-occupied territory, for the purposes of contraband control. There is no relaxation of Britain’s policy in relation to intercepted Vichy ships and their cargoes. The position is that any ships with enemy cargoes proceeding to France or coming from France can be seized.
